4.0 out of 5 stars I like it so far..., March 3, 2009

This review is from: Black & Decker JKC650 Stainless-Steel Cordless Electric Kettle (Kitchen)

I've only had it for a couple of days but it seems to be a great little pot. I used to heat my water in a tea kettle on the stove - it took way too long and I'm sure it used a ton of electricity. This pot heats up fast in comparison. It is hard to tell at first if it is on or not. The indicator light is not in an easy to see spot and unless you are in a dark room it just isn't bright enough to tell if it's on or just reflecting light. It pours nicely - no mess or drips. It's sort of loud when it heats up, but maybe that's true of all of this type of appliance - I don't know since it is my first. I like that it shuts off when you pick it up from the base. All in all I like it so far...

3.0 out of 5 stars Works well, slightly difficult to use at first, December 12, 2008

This review is from: Black & Decker JKC650 Stainless-Steel Cordless Electric Kettle (Kitchen)

The Black & Deck 1.7L Kettle in Stainless heats water quickly, a convenient view window makes it easy to see water level, and its two piece design (the pot rests on base) is extremely convenient. A wide mouth makes filling easy and a well designed spout means little or no drip when pouring.

However, the on/off indicator light is very difficult to see and the 'on' button doesn't provide any kind of feedback (like a click) so at first it was hard to tell if it was pushed. After we understood how the kettle works these became minor annoyances. While it would be nice to see the on/off light better, I don't this is a dangerous problem.

All in all a good product that with a little more refinement from B&D could have been great. Worth buying at a good price, but not worth paying a large premium over other kettles for.

2.0 out of 5 stars lever, May 18, 2009

By 

joe (chicago, il) - See all my reviews

i bought this product from a store and it worked great for a year. the only problem is that the lever you push to turn it on is flimsy and it broke. now it's useless and the warranty doesn't cover it.
